Re: ebay - buyer of a sealed set claims piece is wrong colou

Glad you found a solution. Welcome to the world of Lego sales at eBay. It can be a bumpy road sometimes. I have had this problem before and I had to ship parts from my own sets just to avert a conflict. I miss the days when seller were protected by eBay. Now it seems that any eBay buyer can just do ...

Re: Walmart clearance fall/winter 2015-16

I have been late to the clearance party. Most of the Walmart around me are pretty empty of Lego sale, with barely any of the mentioned sets on any of the isles. The only set I found was 60074 Bulldozer for $30. Not a big clearance price but better than regular. Funny thing is, that day they were res...

The system didn't recognized the offer when she scan my phone. She took a closer look and read all the restriction: The Started Pack offer excludes the f...

Re: LEGO Star Wars 5002948 C-3PO Minifigure Available at Toy

I called my local TRU to see if they still have the figure after the promotion is over.
They did, behind the customer service counter.
They had plenty, walk out with mine for retail price.

Re: Black Friday 2015 Target Deals

You know the funny thing is that one of my local Target only have 2 Bike Shop and Café (31026) on the shelf.
If they don't have anymore it's going to be a blood bath for those 2 sets. :lol:

Re: LEGO VIP Day is on Saturday, November 21st!

I was going to wait until the 27th but, I'm glad I didn't.
Since I was able to get 40125 Santa’s Visit before it sold out.
I ordered the Slave I as well and used a boat load of my VIP points all in all I just spend about $24.

Not a bad deal.
I will keep an eye out for BF deals though.

I just bought the last 7 minifigures S14 in one of my local Targets. This is the second run on this particular store. The sidecap was full at the beginning of this month, usually this store orders 2 runs of these minifigures then that is it. I have also seen the Walmart sidecap get lower and lower w...

Re: FREE Holiday Train Set + Double VIP Points Extended to O

Ok is it me or when you try to add the blue store brick (5001383) the price is not the sale price but the regular price of $19.99.
I can't get the system to charge me the sale price.
To make it worst as I'm typing this the item seems to have sold out or removed.
Oh well

One more to go the Hobbit Lonely Mountain to complete all. I was able to secure this one from shop in one of...

Re: May the 4th LEGO Star Wars Sale 2015

I went ahead and order the UCS 10240 Red Five X-wing. I wanted the set since last year and since it's starting to look like this set is disappearing at most retails for the regular price, it was a 'no brainer'. Plus I got the Admiral Yularen for free, a poster and VIP points. I call it a win-win sce...

Re: [USA] ToysRUs May the Fourth Be With You LEGO Star Wars

It will not work.

Anything "exclusive" ie UCS is out of the deal.
Even the Sandcrawler which shows the bogo 40% and has a limit of 4 per customer; you can not add more than 1 to your shopping cart.

The rest of the UCS are missing from the web, not surprised at all!
